The Lord Is My Light

The Lord is my light; then why should I fear? By day and by night his presence is near. He is my salvation from sorrow and sin; This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.

Chorus

The Lord is my light; He is my joy and my song. By day and by night He leads, he leads me along.

The Lord is my light; tho clouds may arise, Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thru the skies Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign. Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

Chorus

The Lord is my light; He is my joy and my song. By day and by night He leads, he leads me along.

The Lord is my light; He is my joy and my song. By day and by night He leads, he leads me along.

The Lord is my light, my all and in all. There is in his sight no darkness at all. He is my Redeemer, my Savior, and King. With Saints and with angels his praises I’ll sing.

Chorus

The Lord is my light; He is my joy and my song. By day and by night He leads, he leads me along.
